Paint the car black except for the front doors and the roof and --Wa Law -- to the untrained eye you've got a police cruiser of signiture proportions.
(With that heavy front axle under there, I bet this rig'll ride like a real truck!!)JimsLeadCommanderComment

Jamie, if you want to do that to Christine, all I ask is that you let me drive it when you're done!Comment

Looks like it will be one cool B/FX! It already looks like it came directly from a '60s drag strip.Chris DresbachComment

Not really! Moonshine cars had beefed up suspensions and souped up engines, but the more plain and nondescript they could make them...the better for not drawing attention. In fact, some of the most successful moonshine cars were four door sedans.Originally posted by FlatheadGeo View PostJohn Clary

Yes, 'tis so. I was drawing a blank because I've never seen that one. I've seen walla, wallah, and woll-a as spelling for 'voila', but not that one. Little slow on the uptake todayOriginally posted by pdrnec View Post

I found it on the HAMB. All of the pictures are small. I'll ask the builder if he could send something a little larger.Jamie McLeod

It certainly is an interesting automobile. I have seen early Larks with straight front axles gasser style, but I don't know if I have ever seen one with an altered wheelbase before. Chris is correct this looks like a factory experimental class car.Joe Roberts

There's another one somewhere on tha hamb board that the guy not only moved the rear wheels foward...but he also stretched the nose about 8"...and...has the engine under the windshield.
As I recall, he stretched the nose and used steel and the stock sheet metal to do it...no fiberglas.
